Monday Miscellany

I was sent this article from observer.com by Benjamin Hardy: Why Keeping a Daily Journal Could Change Your Life. I love the author’s observation that the time spent in your journal is yours, free of anyone else’s opinion or agenda. Journaling is such a healing practice – more than we can ever know.

One of the first bits of advice I give my students at the University of Kent when they’re struggling with their writing is to pick up a pen and enjoy the leisurely beauty of writing by hand. It worked for Shakespeare.

That’s it for now because I have to write all of this down in my journal! Until next week, happy writing!
